4. First Aid Measures
Eye : Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove contact lenses, if present, after first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
Skin : Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Inhalation : Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
Ingestion : Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth if unconscious.

5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media : Use foam or water spray for large fires. Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam for smaller fires.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
: If water is used to fight fire, contain runoff, using dikes to prevent contamination of water supplies. Dispose of fire control water later.
Special Fire Fight Proc : Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Dike area to prevent runoff and contamination of water sources. Dispose of fire control water later.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions : Keep unprotected and unnecessary personnel out of spill area.
Protective Equipment : Splashproof goggles or face shield, impervious gloves, long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks and shoes. Respiratory protection not normally required.
Eyewash and emergency shower should be available in work area.
Emergency Procedures : Prevent material from entering any waterways or public sewers.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleanup
: Absorb small spills with an inert absorbent, such as clay, sand or vermiculite.
Large spills to soil or other surfaces may require removal.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling : Keep out of reach of children. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage, handling or disposal. Containers should be opened in a well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
Conditions for Safe Storage : Always store pesticides in a secured warehouse or storage building. Store at temperatures above 25 Degrees F. Protect from freezing. If allowed to freeze, remix well before using. Freezing does not alter the product. Do not stack cardboard cases more than two pallets high. Do not store near open containers fertilizer, seed or other pesticides.
